Antivirus and EDR for businesses in Nouméa
Ransomware only needs one poorly protected computer to encrypt the files of the whole company. An antivirus installed three years ago, never updated on half the machines, whose alerts nobody reads, mostly provides a false sense of security.
Solution IT deploys and monitors the protection of your workstations and servers from Nouméa, across New Caledonia.
Why antivirus alone is no longer enough#
Today’s attacks no longer look like the viruses of the past. They use legitimate tools, stolen credentials or recent vulnerabilities, and often slip past a traditional antivirus. Protection now works on two levels: blocking what is known, and spotting what behaves abnormally.
Antivirus#
- Licence supply
- Deployment on workstations and servers
- Consistent updates and protection policy across the whole fleet
- Checks that no machine has been left out
EDR: detecting what antivirus cannot see#
EDR continuously analyses machine behaviour. Mass file encryption, a process that has no business running, an unusual connection: suspicious activity is flagged, and the affected machine can be isolated from the network to stop it spreading.
Monitoring is what really makes the difference#
An alert is only worth something if someone acts on it. We monitor the alerts from your fleet and respond during our business hours: analysis, quarantine, isolation, return to service. You know what happened and what was done.
Endpoint protection is part of a whole: it complements the managed IT services for your fleet, multi-factor authentication on your accounts and, as a last resort, a managed backup that attackers cannot reach.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between antivirus and EDR?
An antivirus recognises known threats, based on signatures. An EDR monitors the behaviour of workstations and servers: mass file encryption, unusual processes, suspicious connections. It can therefore detect attacks that no signature describes yet, and isolate a compromised machine before the attack spreads.
Isn't Microsoft Defender enough?
Defender, built into Windows, is a good baseline antivirus. But any tool only protects if it is correctly configured, up to date on every machine and, above all, monitored: an alert nobody reads protects nothing. That monitoring makes more difference than the name of the software.
What happens when an alert is raised?
We receive the alert, analyse it and respond during our business hours: quarantine, isolating the affected machine from the network, finding the origin and bringing it back into service. You are told what happened and what was done.
